Document Sciences Corporation, a global leader in providing customer communications management solutions, announced that it has been named a document creation market leader by Celent, LLC in the firm's report, "Document Management in Banking: Overview and Solution Spectrum".
Celent's independent, industry-leading report is based on conversations with banking customers and interviews with 30 of the most prominent document management vendors serving financial institutions in North America and beyond.
The report, which analyses the key issues and components of document management for bankers, defines document creation as customer communications and correspondence across various lines of business including retail banking, corporate banking, lending, wealth management and investment banking.
"The need for managing documents more efficiently is both an enterprise-wide and line of business requirement for banks," comments Madhavi Mantha, author of the report and senior analyst.
"Whether driven by the necessity to streamline core processes such as lending or account opening, to improve the quality of customer interactions, or to fulfil compliance mandates across the organisation, document management solutions are critical for the optimal functioning of a financial institution."
Built upon an open, standards-based J2EE architecture, the xPression product suite from Document Sciences enables organisations to generate personalised and customised customer communications from a single platform. Highly flexible, scalable and secure, xPression delivers a wide variety of customer communications including marketing collaterals, correspondence, contracts, policies and relationship statements for distribution via print, e-mail and the Web, in both real-time and high volume batch processing.
"We're very pleased to again be recognised as a market leader in document creation, this time in Celent's Document Management in Banking report," says Nasser Barghouti, Chief Technology Officer of Document Sciences. "xPression enables organisations to quickly design graphically rich one-to-one customer communications, streamline the document generation process, and improve the overall customer experience. Our continued innovation, as evidenced by the newest xPression product suite component, xPresso for Adobe InDesign, demonstrates our unrelenting commitment to developing best-in-class document generation solutions for our worldwide customer base in the financial services industry."
